Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The Government expects to ensure an investment of US$2 billion by 2027, for projects to capture, store and distribute water to the country’s capital – Luanda, announced yesterday the Minister of Energy and Water, Joa\u0303o Baptista Borges.<\/b><\/p>\n

The official said that the forecast is to build more than one million home connections to serve the city’s areas, with emphasis on the South and North, as well as Zango and areas where people still do not have home connections.<\/p>\n

The Bita and Quilonga projects are the two major plans that will compensate for the water supply deficit that the country’s capital is currently facing, according to Joa\u0303o Baptista Borges, who was speaking to the press, on the sidelines of the National Water and Sanitation Forum (FONAS) .<\/p>\n

Estimating, the official said that if Luanda has 10 million inhabitants, at least six million buy water from cisterns, but the intention is to eliminate this system, building the Quilonga and Bita projects \u2013 the first with 500 thousand cubic meters of water\/day for five million inhabitants and the second with 250 thousand cubic meters\/day to 2.5 million. \u201cThis is going to be the big investment to make\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cFortunately, the Bita project has just started its development and construction. We anticipate that by 2026 it could already be operational, and the Quilonga project a little later, \u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

He declared that Luanda will be the Government’s priority in terms of water supply, but highlighted, on the other hand, that there are other projects that are currently in the final stages of completion in other provincial capitals such as Malanje and Cabinda, the latter having already benefited from a project in operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is still a need to extend to most of the capitals of the country’s provinces where the city has grown and there is currently no home network that serves everyone. This is another effort,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, of the more than 10 million inhabitants of Luanda, only four million have access to piped water.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the program to combat drought, which has received special attention from the holder of the Executive power, in a program that integrates three provinces, Cunene, Namibe and Hui\u0301la.<\/p>\n

The official said that there are great efforts being made by the Executive in the construction of new water supply and treatment systems, in provincial capitals and municipal headquarters.<\/p>\n

In his understanding, sanitation also requires investment, capital to build systems and a great effort that has to do with sustainability, guaranteeing the functioning of payment systems.<\/p>\n

Joa\u0303o Baptista Borges gave this information on the sidelines of the National Water and Sanitation Forum (FONAS) held yesterday in Luanda, on the occasion of the World Water Day (March 22).<\/p>\n
